Dear all, please see below the current working schedule of the Microkernel Devroom at FOSDEM 2021 (this email also serves as the official confirmation of the acceptance of your talk, in case you did not check Pentabarf yourself already).

I am certainly also open to any other comments and suggestions. I will consider the schedule confirmed and fixed by the end of Sunday, January 10th 2021. A few remarks: (1) The time values in the schedule are in UTC+1 and _include_ a Q&A part of 10 minutes for each talk. The semantics of the "Duration" entry in Pentabarf has been changed by the FOSDEM organizers to reflect this as well (while the length of the pre-recorded presentation itself has a dedicated entry now and it will be ultimately derived from the exact length of the video recording). The latest info about the organization of the devroom from the FOSDEM organizers could be summarized as follows: The pre-recorded videos will automatically start streaming at the given time according to the schedule and after each talk finishes streaming, the live stream for the Q&A will start. Further discussions could be performed in parallel with the talk (and other talks) via Matrix/IRC and in a dedicated "hallway" stream for each devroom. (2) The initial instructions for the pre-recording of the talks can be found at [1]. Similarly to the organization of the devroom itself, this still appears to be a work-in-progress and therefore I suggest waiting couple more days before you start doing any recording. I will let you know and update the CfP page for your reference when the discussions among the FOSDEM organizers appear to settle. (3) However, be ready to match the length of your presentation to the original duration you have proposed. If your recording is longer (but still within the constraints of the schedule), you will cut in into your Q&A. If your recording is longer than the slot in the schedule, the system might reject it completely. Having written than, we can certainly afford to be a bit cavalier with the length of the talks this year (due to the small number of submissions). Thus, if you feel you would make good use of a longer slot, please let me know. (4) The last item on the schedule is intended as a live panel discussion (which I will humbly moderate). If you would like to participate in the panel or suggest somebody who should participate, I would very much appreciate that. I will also approach some key people in our community directly.
